In a retrospective study, 42 (7.7%) of 545 patients with AIDS from a single area of Italy had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (28 systemic and 14 primary central nervous system lymphomas). The improved outcome and survival of treated patients outlines the clinical benefit of antineoplastic treatment in selected cases.
